How to keep UR points?
Right now only Chase UR card between me/wife is her Chase Sapphire.
I've had my Sapphire and cancelled earlier in year
Had freedom cancelled earlier in year
She needs to cancel the sapphire in 2 months to avoid annual fee. what are options to keep the UR points? She called today and CS says you lose the points if you cancel your card today.
Is one way for her to apply for a Chase Freedom card? any other way without having another chase card?
Thanks!

No, you need a sapphire or ink card to retain them. Freedom does not keep them, it can only contribute to them.

I thought the points between Sapphire and Freedom can be combined? I was able to move all my points from my regular Sapphire card into my Freedom account without any issues. I actually did this for a couple of other people in the family as well in the UR site. It's on the left hand side once you are in the UR Mall. I think it says manage account and then you can click on the link to combine points.

Out of curiosity, why did you cancel your Freedom earlier this year? It's an awesome no-fee card.

I forget what the current bonus is...maybe 20 or 30k points? Just do a little investigating.

I don't remember seeing Chase's clock reset at 2 years, so you will not likely get bonus even after 2 years and it's only at 10k now anyway

Alright...here is the basic Chase link. Just scroll over the Chase Freedom: https://www.chase.com/index.jsp?pg_n...clusives_offer
There is a ton more info on a ton of other threads on here and elsewhere, or on a dozen other blogs...

Why would you cancel the Chase Freedom? No annual fee, quarterly bonuses, Chase Exclusive program... plus it builds up your credit history for no cost.
